Tuesday, October 11. Must win for Quinteros. Bolivia is banking on Pablo Escobar and Juan Carlos Arce as changes from Uruguay. Let's hope that he does not fall into the trap of playing Andaveris. How many times have we tried him on an international level? Probable line-up: Carlos Arias; Lorgio Álvarez, Ronald Raldes, Ronald Rivero y Luis Gutiérrez; Wálter Flores, Jaime Robles, Rudy Cardozo, Pablo Escobar; Juan Carlos Arce y Marcelo Martins. I sound like a broken record, but the Flores-Robles duo does not translate for the offensive minded Bolivian team in La Paz, it may work for the clog the middle and hope for a tie and an occasional counter attack goal. Last home game until June 2012.
Viva Bolivia! No secret we only need to win home games to qualify for the WC. The boys just need the balls to get it done. I'm looking forward to see how CHuma does on his debut. He may be small, but the dudes got decent speed and more imporantly, BALLS! Anyone know what time the game is?
Match is 4PM - EST Weather looks like rain. Is this typical of La Paz in Oct? Just wondering how this would affect the pitch. Also, a packed stadium is always difficult for the visiting team. Is a sold out crowd likely?
-rain is typical any day of the year in La Paz, I read the field is good tho atm....Packed stadium is not likely, as of yesterday less than 10k steats were sold.
Anyone going to a bar something tomorrow to watch the game in northern VA? It'll be cool to meet up and watch the game together.
Aww c'mon fuego, don't be such a pansy, it's only your livelihood. I will definitely be streaming so please anyone reading this post quality links or pm them. I suffered through a crappy stream for the Uruguay game. Jhasmani, Rudy and one more guy (Robles?) will be game time decisions. More than likely Jhasmani wont be ready. I was hoping to see him and I'd rather see Chuma show his stuff in his home field than the robles/flores pairing.
Has Jhasmani played in a game for Bolivar since his injury? If not, strange that he would make his debut on such a important stage..
I wonder what position Escobar and Chuma will play and if they will play together. sounds like a good idea since theyre both on the same team. Cardozo better play. Alvarez como lateral izquierdo, pero Gutierrez no se me ase como jugador ofensivo. prefiero a Abdon Reyes pero el no esta al 100%
How is the general mood towards your Nat team? Are you guys (and the media) confident in this 2011 Bolivia? I am hoping, and confident that we could bring a point back to Colombia. CHEERS
i would say its about 50/50 over in Bolivia. our match vs. Uruguay was a good indication of what the coach can do strategically. and it has improved compared to our friendlies leading up to these eliminatorias. some of our compatriotas over there will always try to bad mouth imo. the consensus is that we need to win all if not most of our home games. good thing that our coach Gustavo Quinteros is wiling to talk to the media so that's mostly the updates they relay.
Yes, game is at 4, any links? where is everyone watching, Justintv keeps getting owned and my old go-to Iraqigoals got shut down by the man. If Cardozo can't go from the get go and Jhasmani is probably out than we're gonna have a hard time generating dangerous plays.
I'm gonna go with rojadirecta.es, as others have suggested, which works well. Let's win this! Viva Bolivia!!!

End of first half, 0-0. Bolivia is dominating for the most part, several chances but noone super clear. Colombia did have a couple of counterattacks that were para infarto; Vaca did pretty well in containing...
Colombia had 5 or 6 clear chances while we have possesion but nothing to show..man that robles/flores combo is deadly..theyre good for a minute and then they completely suck..thats whats holding us back imo
